How

Tools used for this project:

What

This project taught interaction using limited controls such as the clicker on the Google Cardboard to create an interactive VR experience. Level building was a bit easier in this project because I normalized the size of the walls to be connected using 1 Unity unit instead of using the obscure default wall size. This greatly sped up development because I no longer had to worry about gaps between the walls.
